Topic: Artichokes (Read 833 times)

Got some baby artichokes, trimmed them nicely into hearts, halved them, and put them on my pizza. They were pretty good, but a bit bland. These were fresh artichokes because my first experience with marinated bottled artichokes was not good. Anybody have a favorite way of prepping fresh artichoke hearts before putting on as a topping? Anybody prefer plain artichokes without prepping? Right now I was not wowed by the naked artichokes. Mark

I don't use them often on pizza, but I usually trim them, grill them first with evoo, lemon juice, and a bit of s&p. I give them a good bit of evoo after grilling to keep them from drying out before using.

Thanks Craig. I think they could use a little flavor kick with some salt. pepper and evo. Grilling veggies always helps too! Mark

I love them together with mushrooms, salami and gorgonzola.I buy them canned here in Holland, but the quality is not always good, you must have a good brand that has quality artichokes and they must be sour or acid for better taste.
